The historic tall ship Pascual Flores is set to arrive at Marina Salinas in Torrevieja on Sunday, the ninth of November, around thirteen hundred hours. This arrival marks the culmination of an extensive European tour during which the vessel visited twenty-one ports across France, the United Kingdom, Norway, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, and Spain. The Pascual Flores garnered attention by participating in major events, including the Sail Amsterdam 2025 and the Tall Ship Race 2025, where it excelled in its category.
Throughout its journey, the ship has navigated thousands of nautical miles, welcoming more than thirty-five thousand visitors who explored its decks and learned about the rich maritime heritage of Torrevieja, the craftsmanship behind its construction, and its illustrious history as one of the last sailing vessels of the Mediterranean.
Originally built in Torrevieja, Alicante, in nineteen seventeen, the Pascual Flores was crafted to facilitate the prosperous salt trade with the Mediterranean and Africa. Thanks to a partnership between the Torrevieja City Council and the Fundación Nao Victoria, this classic vessel continues its journey as a floating ambassador of Torrevieja’s culture and history.
From November through December, including the Christmas period, the Pascual Flores will be open for public visits every Thursday to Sunday, from ten in the morning until six in the evening. Tickets will be available for five euros, either onboard the ship or through the website www.fundacionnaovictoria.org. Guided tours for educational groups and associations will also be arranged in collaboration with the Torrevieja City Council.
